creative nomad

stevenf:

How long will it take to complete this Old World to New World shift? My guess? The end is near when you can bootstrap a new iPad application on an iPad. When you can comfortably do that without pining for a traditional desktop, the days of Old World computing are officially numbered.

The iPad as a particular device is not necessarily the future of computing. But as an ideology, I think it just might be. In hindsight, I think arguments over “why would I buy this if I already have a phone and a laptop?” are going to seem as silly as “why would I buy an iPod if it has less space than a Nomad?”

Yup. As someone who owned a Creative Nomad and the first iPod, I completely agree.

More importantly… I wonder what I ever did with my Nomad? Where did it go?

No, seriously, I have no idea what happened to it.
